The Island: The Return of Michael Bay

Rating: 8/10 (10 July 2005)

Wow! What a ride! I must say Michael Bay is back after his dip with Pearl Harbor. This film has action sequences that resemble Bay's earlier efforts, like The Rock and Bad Boys II. Not that him recycling some of his previous ideas is a bad thing. It actually works well with the film and generated excitement and suspense with the audience. I must tell you there is a scene involving a high rise office building that will leave you breathless. Also, this movie has lots of humor which was appreciated by the audience. The only down side is that it is a little to long, but it still held my interest. Bay fans, as well as sci-fi and suspense fans, will surely be pleased, as well as everyone else. Highly recommended.
